Possibly I want to bring my acting into the cooking, blending the two together. What I love is cooking for other people and seeing them enjoy what I have created for them.

I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there's a celebrity aspect to it or not.

Marcus Samuelsson

Sometimes I read that I'm not 100 per cent Chinese, because I don't look all that Chinese. That's a strange one - I am Chinese.

Godfrey Gao

I don't believe Chinese movies should only have Chinese cast and talents shooting it with a Chinese story.

I've read hundreds of books about China over the decades. I know the Chinese. I've made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind.

I did my best to hide by changing my name many times. But I was captured by the Chinese police. But because my Chinese was so good, they thought I was Chinese and released me. That was a miracle.
